Formal Retirement Messages for Employees

Letting go of an employee that has been considered family can definitely break hearts, especially if said employee has contributed a lot to the company for a long period of time. You may even develop a risk of separation anxiety. A torrent of worry will strike you hard. You will begin to wonder who would be replacing his or her stead. Each employee is vital, yet you don’t need to sweat it because of worry.

You have to understand that the employee has served the company well for years. It is now time to accept that he/she must retire from duty and focus on other aspects of life. As the employee has contributed to your company during his/her stay, you need to show your support for their next chapter in life.

You can do this by writing messages dedicated to the retiring employee. Keep in mind to maintain formality weaved with sincerity and best of wishes in your messages.

If you’re having trouble writing those messages, check out our suggestions below:

We have considered you as part of this company’s family and we surely hope that we are your second family. You have grown fond of everyone and people here will surely miss you. I hope your growth as a professional has been massive and we could only wish you have not aged this fast so that bidding our goodbyes will be delayed, but there’s nothing that we can do about it now.
